 Recap of the Torrance Parks and Recreation Commission to approve a lease at Sur La Brea Park for a 65 foot cell phone tower and equipment building. The Parks and Recreation Commission did not agree with the recommendation of the City Manager that they concur in a proposal to locate a cellular site and 65 foot cell phone tower at Sur La Brea Park. Brian Sunshine, Assistant to the City Manager, explained the project at the beginning of the meeting indicating that the equipment building would be built adjacent to the restrooms. However, the one slide shown during the meeting showed the equipment building would be on the east end of the meeting building. Earlier in the week we surveyed the park and estimated the area is about 800 square feet of useable, flat park area. The loss of that useable park space is not acceptable. The presentation by the land agent for Verizon Wireless gave very few details and the exact location of the cell phone tower

The City of Torrance has rescheduled the meeting on the proposed 65 foot cell phone tower at Sur La Brea Park to Wednesday, November 28th, 7PM, in the meeting room at Sur La Brea Park.  No reason was given for the reschedule.
